  • Accident?

    I heard what I hope were rumors yesterday and again today that there was a pretty bad accident. Something about a big truck running into the back of a Camero. Anybody know anything about this?

    Saw pictures on Facebook. Yesterday there was the wreck with the Camaro and I think maybe a Dart that got rear ended.
    A 57 Chevy lost control on a slick road, spun out and flipped over a guardrail. I saw a newer Vette and I can’t remember the other one got rear ended in Chattanooga. And a shortbed Chevy, and something else got rear ended today.

        Wow, be careful out there. We lost one last year. Cars can be replaced.

          looked like a 70s Camaro, right rear smashed in to the rear window. possibly pushed into the car ahead. looked like an early Mustang with a rippled quarter panel just outside Chattanooga State College. Also a Pick Up got hit in the right rear in a town.

            A semi loaded down with cars blew its left front tire. It was on the shoulder the wheel was probably damaged as the tire was off. That could have flipped over easily. Another one popped the right rear trailer tire right in front of me. That was a pretty loud bang. It happened one other time but there was a car between me and the rig that time. Saw a lot of dead armadillos and deer. Thought armadillos were from the southwest.
            A pickup rear ended a mini van around St Louis.

              I don't want to reflect negative or positive. On the neutral side of things, strictly statistics... If you have 5 thousand cars all running with a common cause, that's 5 thousand more opportunities that somebody's going to be involved in an incident. It's all about exposure to the risk. And the risk is out there.

              If any one of us did something 5 thousand times alone, we'd end with the same chance something would happen, and that then would be us.

                We went over the overpass where the Camaro was hit shortly after it happened. All vehicles were still in place. Police were already there. Looked ugly but they made us keep moving. Got caught in a backup for a ten car pileup today on a stretch of I20. The word came down the line that there was also at least 1 fatality & the road would be closed for hours. We managed to get turned around & figured a way around it. We heard a tour car was involved but it could be just speculation too. But hey, the '63 is running great other than the over heating deal at the venue in Chattanooga.

                        Another Camaro damaged today (Weds) on I-20. He came over a hill at about 80mph to find stopped traffic on interstate due to the earlier accident. This guy swerved but still clipped a Dodge Ram truck as he tried to squeeze between two trucks.

                            We saw this truck at Zmax - what a shame! It looked to be a very nice piece before it was crunched. It had LOTS of damage! the bed moved forward and crinkled the back of the cab, then the door moved forward and popped a bunch of paint off the front door jam and it then crinkled the front fender / bumper. We might have missed other damage but didn't want to spend too much time looking at it and risk the potential of upsetting the owner more than he must have already been.
